The Tudor Heritage Ranger is one of the most practical, simple and infrangible watches around. Back in the 1950’s, as Rolex’s Explorer started to transform into the legendary 1016, Tudor created their own variation of the Explorer: the Ranger. Throughout the years ensuing the launch of the Ranger, trends in watches changed, causing Tudor to basically ditch the original Ranger design for something a tad more modern. Finally, after a considerable amount of time, Tudor has revived the Ranger and, this time, the Ranger is no one hit wonder.

HANDS-ON [WITH LIVE PICS]: Introducing The Pilot D’Aeronef Type 20 GMT 1903 by Zenith @Timecrafters2014

Timecrafters was so action-packed (and, yes a watch show can be action-packed, for those who don’t know) that I nearly forgot half of the watches that I saw at the show. But through all of this watch-mania, some very special watches found their way into a part of my mind where I would never be able to forget them. This was one of those watches.
